RE: Index File Name

Alistair I think you'll find that packages don't get stored in a tablespace per se... like you are describing below. They are stored in the data dictionary. So you don't need to allocate specific storage for them (other than the system tablespace) and for the most part this is negligible.

Sorry for the assumption... :o)
I do find it best to specify the tablespace of the index to be different than the table, personally I use have a method of leaving:

DB Object code i.e. packages in the users default tablespace, Tables in one tablespace (i.e. Users_Tables) and indexes in another (User_indexes) over several disks to reduce disk contention. Schemas will require a Temporary Tablespace and you of course will need the rollback tablespace as a non system tablespace cannot use the system rollback... a few public rollback segments, named in the init(SID).ora so they start up automatically with the instance

If you don't specify an index tablespace the index will occupy the same
tablespace as the Table...
It's probably best to have a tablespace for indexes and one for the tables
If you create an index tablespace, a good name might be 'User_Indexes' ?

I am creating a database from a DDL SQL script. I have created the primary
and temp tablespaces because their names were referenced in the code.
However, there is no name reference anywhere that I can find for the "index"
tablespace. Do I need to create one, or will Oracle take care of that for
me? If I have to create on, what name do I give it, or does it matter?
